Fatal error when running anything with Pip

Question

I've had some issues installing pip packages, so I decided to uninstall python, and reinstall it. However, when I downloaded it again, and tried to run pip, I got this error

Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"c:\program files (x86)\python37-32\python.exe"  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python37-32\Scripts\pip.exe"

just to make sure you installed it correctly try in terminal "pip --version" & "python --version". see if no error — Evan, May 05 '19 at 00:59
@Vanz "pip --version" throws the same error (any pip command does) — profound.donut, May 05 '19 at 01:01
Can you launch python by itself, or do you still get an error? — Green Cloak Guy, May 05 '19 at 01:04

Try to upgrade pip:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

This is more of a workaround than a proper fix. See this solution for more information.
